Drinking alcohol adds calories to your diet — just one regular beer is about 150 calories. If you don’t cut back somewhere else, adding just one beer daily could cause a weight gain of more than one pound a month. Additionally, excessive drinking can stimulate your appetite and make you less likely to control portion sizes.
